It’s Monday. It’s annual review day.

Me pretending I don’t suddenly need to change careers and move to a lighthouse. If they have good coffee..why not? 👀

Every year I always get that tiny knot in my stomach.

Even though I show up.

Even though I work hard.

Even though I care and like my job.

Why do we doubt ourselves on days meant to reflect our effort?

Because you're very keenly reminded that you work there on someone else's sufferance and performance assessment time is a very helpless feeling.
@CountScrofula helpless is a good description

@Bexsy Yeah this is my stock and trade and I hate performance assessments. Most bosses aren't constantly pulling rank in a way which is destabilizing but performance assessment you're just at their mercy. It's always stressful.
